Our pick of emblematic places to eat in the old town of Teror, Gran Canaria.
If you only eat at one place in Teror, make it this one. D'Fernandez is the village's own bar-café-restaurant, right on Plaza de Sintes, a short walk from the Basilica del Pino and the old town. Open every day, from breakfast (croissants, sandwiches and good Teror coffee) through to a long lunch, with real Canarian cooking: ropa vieja, goat stew, gofio escaldado, papas with mojo picón, fresh fish and garlic prawns, plus tapas to share with Teror chorizo and morcilla. To finish, homemade desserts: egg flan, rice pudding and the cake of the day. Local produce, a family welcome and fair prices — that's why we've eaten here forever.

Teror has a surprisingly good food scene for a village its size: from grill houses like El Secuestro to the classic dining rooms on Plaza del Pino (Pino Maa, El Encuentro) or Calle La Diputación (La Alacena), plus traditional bars like Diego, right on Calle Real. Each one is worth a visit depending on what you fancy. But if you want the most authentic Canarian flavour, a genuine family welcome and the best location — a short walk from the Basilica and the Sunday market — we'll be waiting for you at D'Fernandez, on Plaza de Sintes. Come try our ropa vieja or our goat stew, and you'll see why we're the first stop for anyone visiting Teror 😊
